One home remains unsold at national developer Toll Brothers’ Beckham Place at Morningside, a community of long townhome rows along a curving section of Piedmont Road, a few blocks north of Piedmont Park near Fat Matt’s Rib Shack.

Development of Beckham Place began during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic with demolition of the 11-building Oak Knoll Apartment Homes, which had been built in 1951.

Over subsequent years, Beckham Place delivered 60 townhomes total in the 1700 block of Piedmont Road.

“The home is in a prime location close to the incredible community clubhouse,” noted White via email.

Beckham Place is considered a gated community, with amenities that include an onsite pool and greenspace. All townhomes stand four stories with garages and roof terraces, but none include elevators.

The development team has called the location strategic for its access to Atlanta’s marquee greenspace, nearby shops and restaurants, and Morningside’s top-flight schools.

Pennsylvania-based Toll Brothers, billed as the nation’s top builder of luxury homes, acquired longtime Atlanta homebuilder Thrive Residential in early 2020.

The deal included nearly 700 infill lots that Thrive had accumulated throughout Atlanta and Nashville, including the Morningside parcel that became Beckham Place.
